The French Football Federation (FFF) has decided to withdraw its support for Gianni Infantino for a new term as FIFA president, impacting the upcoming elections of the organization.
Change of stance by the FFF
The FFF revoked its backing of Infantino, who had lost support after a commercial project was rejected by FIFA. The proposal to sell World Cup shares to private funds triggered the decision of the French federation.
UEFA leads the claims
UEFA has also expressed its distrust in Infantino, urging him to step down from the presidency. Other European federations have joined this stance, demanding reforms in FIFA and creating a scenario of uncertainty before the elections on March 18.
